** Deutsche Bank stays cautious about the European pharmaceutical sector, expecting "the sector malaise" to persist due to political headwinds in the U.S.
** It says that "things have got a little slipperier" for the sector's outlook, though there may also be opportunities
** It adds that while the pan-European index .STOXX is up YTD, the pharma sub-sector .SXDP has fallen, with large pharma down by mid-single digits
** If excluding Novo Nordisk NOVOb.CO, the pharma sector performance would have been slightly better, it says
** Novo Nordisk's shares have fallen 29% YTD
